A never-to-be-repeated praise for the Bears and another Jazz and Razz

The CHICAGO BEARS will probably never get a Jazz again, but the team's victory over the Vikings Monday night helped the Saints cement the top seed in the NFC, giving Saints fans a shot at two playoff games at home. For that, we're grateful to Da Bears.

Chuck Cook/The Times-PicayuneSaints safety Darren Sharper looks back to see Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb diving for his feet as he takes an interception 97 yards for a touchdown as New Orleans takes on Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa., Sunday, Sept. 20.

SUPERDOME MANAGEMENT had only two lines for women to go through security compared to six for men at some gates at Sunday's game. The disparity made it hard for female fans to get to their seats on time and made little sense since it takes longer to search people who carry a bag. That needs to be remedied before the playoffs.

Saints safety DARREN SHARPER set the NFL record for most interception return yards in a season in Sunday's contest against the Bucs. He intercepted his ninth pass of the season, returning it for 21 yards to bring his season total to 376 yards. It was his 63rd career interception and moved him into a tie for sixth place on the NFL's all-time list.
